Liverpool striker Christian Benteke, 25, is open to a move to Crystal Palace as his first-team prospects could be even more limited following the signing of forward Sadio Mane, 24. (Daily Mirror) Barcelona winger Cristian Tello has reportedly turned down a move to Liverpool, with Fiorentina his most likely destination Manchester United have opened discussions with Juventus over Paul Pogba, with the Serie A side holding out for £83m.
What the ****! MORE WATFORD CHAT Busy morning at Vicarage Road: Watford have rejected a £37.5m bid from Shanghai SIPG for Odion Ighalo. The club is also close to completing the signing of Belgian centre-back Christian Kabasele from Genk, according to Sky sources. £37.5m?! Why can't they bid that for Benteke FFS!
Watford rejected 37.5m bid for ighalo from China!!! ****ing ridiculous, they could have sold their two forwards for over 60m.. Those two forwards being ighalo and Deeney. Crazy money being thrown around. Can't believe they rejected both of those, I'd have def accepted them and re invested in squad with 3/4 players for 10m
I'd accept £25m for Benteke tbh, just to get him gone. £32m for Bentekkers and they can have Balotelli as well
Juve have been linked with benteke and they need a new Cf agfter losing morata. Although they have dybala
Or badontelly. I think theres shinanigans going on there. that bid is even further from reality than the fee for hulk who's getting past it. I think thats a bit of mischeif from someplace but i sinerely doubt anyone at watford turned that much down.
why??? I mean you might as well say 25p these days at 25mil If we simply hold out we will have a queue a mile long with 40mil for us. What is this sell off cheap stuff then defend mane fee? 40mil for benteke but badontelly is a year left (worst luck its not out of contract frankly) so we won't make much but if some mad ****er pays 10mil for him it'd be a miracle... even the chinese can't be that mad.
http://www.skysports.com/football/n...d-dahoud-lucas-moura-and-neven-subotic-linked Now these whispers are a load of **** but they have Subotic down as Leicester as his current club ffs
You think we can get 40m for benteke then you've lost the plot even more than thoight. Clubs know now he's not needed, he had a poor year in front of goal and we signed him for 32m. Why would his value go up 8m?
If we paid 34 for mane then theres a fee to be extraced out of west ham who bid the same for lacazette who laughed at them and the other fellea gone to chelsea... and palace and maybe juve (but i doubt it) and a numbe rof mad chinese guys. The idea in yor head seems to be form based. mine is demand based. He's going to be in demand...
Really? Because he's not... Who has actually made an offer for him? No one... West Ham had been linked but they've been linked to about 6 forwards, and palace seem to be only other link. Demand isn't exactly high.
Stranger things have happened. Logically that all makes sense but the new PL money has changed things. Just look at ****ing borini, he's was **** for you first year, went to sunderland on loan where his purple patch wasnt even that impressive and half of the goals he scored were pens, he goes back to you guys and sits on the bench for another year and you manage to sell him for roughly what you bought him at if not more.
borini was ridicuous. we stood to make 14mil off sunderland had he gone the first year. thats 3mil profit on 11mil on a disaster. Benteke gets a terrible time of some reds fans who grossly under rate what he's done in the prem. There's going to be 2/3 buyers. Badontelly o nthe other hand..... going to cost us 4.5mil in wages this year and no way to get shut by the look of it.
